Prohibition IN Atlanta.

Rev. J. II. Gambrell has shown us
the following letter which we pub
lish IN refutation of the never end
ing lies of whisky papers and their
correspondents about the results of
Prohibition in Atlanta. DR.. Haw-
thorne is the noted Baptist preacher
of Atlanta and what he says may be
relied upon:
ATLANTA, GA, March 80. 1887,
Rev J. II. GambreIl. Brook haven, Miss.
DEAR SIR:-No honest man in
this city will say that Prohibition is
failure. For awhile there were
many violations of the law, but the
fidelity of the city government and
the rapid growth of public SEN
timent in favor OF prohibition have
crushed out all organized opposi
ton.
The law is rigidly enforced and
the good effects of it are so apparent
that oil fear of its repeal is remov-
ed. Atlanta was never so pros
porous ard happy.
Yours Truly,
j. B. HAWTHORNE.

Quick Work.

A young man named Green Case
was arrested near this place last
week on charge of attempting to
wreck a train ON the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas Railroad,
near Roxie, Franklin county, a few
days previously, and turned over by
Deputy Sheriff S. F. Magee to the
Franklin county authorities. He
confessed his guilt, but placed most
of the blame on Charlie Case, a cous,
in whom he was visiting in Franklin
county, and who got out of the
scrape hy turning States evidence
On being carried to Mead' lille,
Green Case was indicted by the
grand jury then in session, was ar
raigned and plead guilty, and on
Thursday sentenced to the Peniten
tiarv for 7 years. Monday night he
was brought here by Deputy Sheriff
Magee, and on Tuesday evening de-
livered to the Penitentiary authori-
ties at Jackson.

Rankin Swings Into Line.

Prohibition, like 1.-THE soul Of
John Brown, goes marching on
On last Wednesday the first local
option election of the year in MissiS-
sippi was held in Rankin county
and resulted in victory for Pro
hibition by a vote Of lO42 to 1863
The persistent opposition of Cob
Frantz, of the Republican, to the
good cause, seems to have operated
as a boomerang and increased its
popularity.
The result of this election leaves
not wet spot across the State
from Vicksburg to the Alabama
line. 1t is victory in double
sense, because the Kinds county
liquor men who were attempting to
establish whisky and beer saloons
Just across the river from the State
capital have been completely foil
ed.
We congratulate the good people
of 1.-THE Free State of Rankin" on
their grand victory. Their county
is now the Free State" indeed!

Debts OF FARMERS.

The Department Of Agriculture
is inst now giving the farmers some
good advice about debts, or rather
about keeping out of debt. There
are il saws, in its monthly report,
about five million owners Of farms
in this country. Many Of them are
young and Industrious men and
need ready money with which
to- develop their farms. For
sLch, judicious loans may he a
good and safe undertaking, but the
system of advances upon crops so
much is use in the South especially,
IL strongly condemns. 1t says;
The system of advances Ivy mcr
chants upon growing crops is espec-
tally dangerous and disastrous. 1t
brings ready money at any time,
renders borrowing easy and en-
courages spending money. before
earning. 1t is selling the chcapes,
cotton in the world aud buying
supplies at enormous prices, a
practice which only fertile lands,
abundant crops, and persistent in
dustry can save from bankruptcy.
1t is a matter Of congratulation that
the burden Of debts is decreasing,
and is in fact, relatively less than it
was ten years ago. An investiga
ton made by statistical agents
shows that debt is still heavy bur
den, while affording evidence of a
gradual decrease in the number and
amount of farm mortgages and adj
vances BY merchants"

Astonishing success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used BOschces German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine "a the Ger
man Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask Your druggist about it. Sample bot
ties to try, sold bv all Druggists and Deal
ers, in the United States and Canada.

We quote the following extract

We quote the following extract
from a private letter from one of the
ablest and most distinguished
lawyers of Mississippi to the editor
of this paper;
II was gratified to see that YOU
published an article holding that
printing presses are not exempt
from taxation. hope you will
keep it up, as greater piece of
impudence WAS never practiced
upon any people than that of news
paper men in refusing to pay their
taxes, surprising that the people
would be afraid of their influence
and hence not tackle them"

Good Results in Every Case,

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes, that he
was seriously afflicted with a severe cold
that settled on his lungs: had tried many
remidies without benefit. Being induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con
sumption, did so and was entirely cured
by use of a few bottles. Since which
time he has used it in his family for all
Coughs and Colds with best results. This
is the experience of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this wonderful Dis
covery. Trial Bottles free at I. T. Meade

The Raymond Gazette says politi-
cal parties are "held together by the
cohesive power of public plumber"
If true now, it hasn't always
been 50. The truth is, when
party gets to have no higher
motive for sticking together than
the loayes and fishes Of office, it were
better for it go to pieces as speedily
as possible. Public office is a public
trust, and not something to be
sought or bestowed simply for the
money there is in it. If the Ga
zettc's party has no higher ambition
or conception Of patriotism than
this, 1T had better prepare for an
early wreck. Principle is the rock
"n which all political parties should
be founded, and when they cease
to he guided by principle they have
served their day of usefulness.

We notice in your paper some
mention made Of John w. Ross, he.
ing candidate for clerk Of the
Circuit and Chancery Courts OF
Lawrence county, and we ask To
speak word in his favor through
your valuable paper. Being in
timatrly acquainted with him
while a citizen for several years Of
Beauregard, we are satisfied that no
better selection could he made ny
the good people of our sister county
in obtaining man that will come
fully up tn the standard for honesty,
capacity and availability. Johnnie
is fine pensman aud expert in all
buiness transactions. He was
connected with our town govern
menJ here for several years as AL
derman and Treasurer and gave
entire satisfaction during his whole
term Of office, and when we were
visited by the terrible cyclone in
1888, he was treasurer of the town,
holding several hundred dollars Of
town funds, and though his and all
our possessions were swept away, a
faithful account was rendered of
every dollar, and paid by him after
wards to the town.
His many friends at Beauregard
and of Copiah county would be
pleased to see him elevated to this
or any other position in the gift of
the people to which he NAV aspire.
Much more might be said in com
mCndation of our worthy friend,
but we deem what has been said
sufficient 10 encourage our friends
in Lawrence to elect and honor, as
we think, one Of her very best men =.
